Where is the best “natural wonder” in the US?
A few years ago, my husband and I took a train ride up to the Grand Canyon from some little town in the middle of nowhere after a trip to Las Vegas. Combine it with a trip to the Petrified Forest, and you have a Natural Wonder combo. The Grand Canyon is AMAZING. Also, Niagra Falls is pretty amazing, but you really have to go to the Canadian side to see the full effect of both of the falls. There are a few things to do on the US side, but Canada is way better. Another place, IMHO that is a natural wonder is the Coral Reefs in the Keys. Off of Key Largo is a huge National Park–John Pennycamp is what it is called, I believe. Even if you don’t scuba dive, you can snorkel or do a glass bottom boat. Warm, sun, water–perfect for all ages! Of course, you can’t overlook the glaciers in Montana or Yellowstone National Park either. Alaska and Hawaii are in categories all their own. I have always wanted to see both and haven’t yet had the pleasure. Good luck to you and the family planning a trip
